Warrant officer schools of the Russian Armed Forces

Warrant officer schools of the Russian Armed Forces conduct warrant officer training programmes. Education acquired at such schools is vocational military education (level 4 according to the International Standard Classification of Education). The duration of studies is 2 years and 6-10 months.

Graduates of these schools are granted the military rank of praporshchik/michman.

History

Warrant officers schools were established by Minister of Defence Order of 20 December 1980 №365.[1] Only enlisted personnel and non-commissioned officers, finished their military service as conscripts, could be accepted to enter warrant officers schools. The period of training was ten and half months.

At the moment, there are no separate warrant officer schools in Russia. Warrant officer training programmes are conducted by military educational institutions which also offer commissioning programmes.
